Рузвельт Сайкс, род. 31 января 1906 г., в Элмаре (Elmar), Арканзас, ум. 17 июля 1983 г.
Рузвельт Сайкс начал играть на пианино в возрасте 12 лет, а к началу 20-х гг. уже играл в местных кабаках. В 1928 году Сайкс переехал жить в Сент-Луис (St. Louis) и в 1929 - 1931 гг. уже сделал свои первые записи. В 30-е гг. Сайкс записывался на фирме грамзаписи "Декка" (Decca), а кроме того, работал на нее, разыскивая одаренных музыкантов в провинции. Среди его наиболее популярных композиций - такие как "Night Time Is the Right Time" и "The Honeydripper", от названия которой в дальнейшем и произошло его неофициальное прозвище.
Поселившись в начале 40-х гг. в Чикаго (Chicago), Сайкс выступал в качестве пианиста-аккомпаниатора на многих блюзовых записях, в частности таких артистов как Сент-Луис Джимми (St. Louis Jimmy) и Лонни Джонсон (Lonnie Johnson). В 1954 году он переехал в Новый Орлеан (New Orleans), продолжая помногу записываться на таких фирмах как "Декка", "Престиж" (Prestige), "Спайви" (Spivey), "Фолкуэйз" (Folkways), "Делмарк" (Delmark) и других. На "Престиже" он, при поддержке саксофониста Кинга Кертиса (King Curtis), выпустил альбом "Honeydripper". Стилевая разносторонность Сайкса как пианиста дала ему возможность в полной мере воспользоваться плодами возросшего интереса к блюзу в Европе, и в 1961 году Сайкс вместе с джаз-бэндом Криса Барбера (Chris Barber) отправляется на свои первые выступления в Великобритании. В 1965 и 1966 годах он вновь посетил Великобританию в составе участников Фолк-блюзового фестиваля (Folk Blues Festival), а кроме того, играл на многих блюзовых и джазовых фестивалях США в 70-е гг. Как результат популярности, приобретенной им у новой аудитории, в 70-е и 80-е гг. были переизданы многие его записи, сделанные до1945 года.
